Vignolo

Home to fewer than 2,700 residents in the alpine shadow of Piedmont’s Cuneo province, the compact territory of Vignolo yields an impressive array of 17 protected food and wine denominations. The area's specific microclimatic conditions and fertile alluvial soils foster the cultivation of the prized Fagiolo Cuneo IGP, a local bean whose strict production zone spans 247 municipalities. This alpine-adjacent terroir also shares in the aging secrets of renowned mountain cheeses like Raschera DOP and Bra DOP. Every crop and curd produced here reflects a distinct geographic identity shaped by Cuneo's high-altitude breezes and historic agricultural practices.
